PC SPECS
CPU: AMD FX - 6350
Cooling System: Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon 7970
Motherboard: Gigabyte 880 FXA - UD3
RAM: 16 GB Ripjaw 2000 Mhz 240 - Pin DDR3 memory
HDD: 3 x 1 TB WD blue HDD
SSD: 128 GB Samsung SSD
OS: Windows 8.1 Evaluation Copy 64- Bit Pro
PS : Corsair 750x or 850x I'm not sure which because I'm having trouble removing to see
Mid tower case with 4 fans and room to add 1 more
1 monitor running at 1920 x 1080 and a second running 1280 x 1024 (I am planning on getting another monitor or two on Black Friday/cyber Monday)
Also I do know that I went cheap on the CPU but I don't use CPU Programs
Question:
Anyway, I have 1 HD 7970, and I need to get a larger case and AMD's FX 8350, but that is not the question ( I need a better CPU to run Planetside 2 at above 15 FPS). After I do that should I buy a second 7970 for cross firing and keep my mother board, or should I wait for the 8000 series to drop and buy a new Motherboard?
And yes I am fully aware that my GPU is good enough to last another year or two but I want to have a graphics card that will give me around 60 FPS on ultra settings on modern games and games to come. When it comes to PC's or at least graphics cards, I usually want the higher end stuff, I would probably have a job by then and to help cover the expenses I would sell my current motherboard and GPU. I ask this cause I don't know anything about cross firing vs a single better GPU.
